Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Engine Paint Questions

I am going to paint my engine plastics tomorrow, but i need some last minute advice on color. i have a red hose techniques kit coming in the mail so all of my engine hoses will be red, and i want to do most of the plastics in red. i have a polished aluminum injen CAI, and i want to do the engine cover itself in silver/chrome w/red lettering (going to order emblems from e-celica). anyone think i should do this differently? too much red maybe? the car is silver, so i have a silver/red thing going.

also, on the GT, how the hell do you get those plastic "screws" off the back of the engine without breaking them? i have gone through two sets already. thanks for your advice.

Silver and red, why not make the plastics blue, then you will have a patriotic theme. lol, j/k. But it might look cool... as for the plastics clips, hope somone can help you there, because I cant, I dont even have any any more It should look good with all red though post pics when finished bro

By the way, why did you go with all blue inside and red outside

actually, all my lighting is blue. my accents are all red, and everything else is silver.

A dark blue will actually look pretty sweet with red hoses and silver interior, imo

silver/aluminum color.

well, parts are cleaned, w/both simple green and dish soap. and the primer is on. i went with red for most of the plastics, and i am leaving the engine itself black for the moment, trying to decide if i want to paint it silver or not. i will post pics once the paint is done, and i get the rest of my incoming mods in.
